2020: A Year of Change & Opportunity at the Library
The SDZG Library has some changes coming! Assistant Librarian Kathy Elliott will be "semi-retiring" at the end of 2019, but she is eager to continue using her information processing and organizational skills for SDZG. Keep your eyes out for Kathy to "pop-up" elsewhere in our organization, and we look forward to introducing Kathy's replacement in 2020.
A note from Kathy ...
It has been such a pleasure working at the San Diego Zoo Global Library since 2012. SDZG has provided the most rewarding work experience that I have ever had! Our mission to lead the fight against extinction is inspiring and fulfilling, and our team members are supportive, appreciative, and always eager to share their stories and insights. I’ve been honored to serve the organization's information needs, promoting animal welfare at the Zoo and Park and helping to advance our plant and animal conservation programs. I look forward to continuing to do so in the future. Many thanks to Beth Autin, Kate Jirik, and the entire SDZG team as you move into a happy and productive 2020. In gratitude, Kathy Elliott
Kathy, Kate, and Beth — the Library Services team
A note from Beth ...
We will miss Kathy's attention to detail, technical skills, scientific expertise, and artistic talents. Kathy has supported the SDZG Library though many changes during her seven-year tenure, and we thank her for helping bring us to where we are today!

Saving the Tasmanian Devil : Recovery Through Science-based Management
Edited by Carolyn J. Hogg, Samantha Fox, David Pemberton and Katherine Belov (2019)
The Tasmanian devil is threatened by Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a transmissible form of cancer that has reduced the population by over 80%. Persecution, extreme climate events, vehicle collision and habitat destruction also put pressure on this endangered species. The recovery effort to save the Tasmanian devil commenced over 15 years ago as a collaborative initiative between the Tasmanian government, the Australian government, the Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia, and many research institutions. Saving the Tasmanian Devil documents the journey taken by partner organisations in discovering what DFTD is, the effect it has on wild devil populations, and the outcomes achieved through research and management actions. --Publisher
Four SDZG team members contributed expertise and insight to this excellent resource! See "What Are We Writing?" below for details.
